Benjamin Netanyahu made his relationship with Donald Trump is a Central part of its campaign

It was an element of the bizarre swearing-in ceremony of the Israeli Knesset (Parliament) last week.

Only five months had passed since they took The Last time newly-elected members take The Oath , and to do so in view of the ongoing political paralysis after a further round of stalemate in the elections, you can have it all again and again.

in addition, the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu 's would have a dark, almost apocalyptic speech, not less festive. He warned of an imminent war with Iran, and unprecedented security challenges, saying it was different than all the recalls that since The Days of the 1973 Yom Kippur war.

Admittedly, his words were taken by many commentators as a familiar campaign rhetoric aimed at, the case for why he should continue around the country, although he failed to win a majority in the September vote.

"ladies and gentlemen, I give you The Great Iranian threat," writes " Ma'ariv columnist Ben Caspit in a bitter, evil, take-down from Netanyahu "by the time proven security threat".

But the speech has also helped fuel fear on the eve of Yom Kippur , the annual Jewish day of atonement, where were you 46 years ago, Israel from a Surprise Attack by a coalition of Arab armies.

at the heart of the fear is the US President Donald Trump 's Middle East policy, and it is accompanied by questions about the leaders of the United States the close relationship with Benjamin Netanyahu .

The Israeli Prime Minister has made, that the relationship is an important sales argument for his re-election campaigns, claiming that it has delivered in important aspects.

Under his watch, the Trump management, the long-standing U.S. has been repealed, policies, the recognition of Israel's sovereignty over the occupied Golan heights, and by the movement of the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem.

in particular, Mr Netanyahu sees Mr Trump, the decision to task the Iran nuclear deal, and get tough with the Islamic Republic as a key justification for its own strategy, in order to protect Israel, the reach from Tehran to the expansion in the region.

a Little short, unconditional support on both sides is unusual, so President Trump the ambivalent reaction to the election in September sounded like a gong in here. He noted that the vote was already close, and stressed that America's special relationship with the people of Israel, not a person.

"Trump hates a loser" was the conclusion of the numerous Israeli Media - especially friends who may not win, despite its "strategic assistance," she said.

This may be exaggerated, but it is Netanyahu underlines the failure of poor position twice to form a government. In Israel is complex battles of the coalition, he will try to hold on to his job, what could to fight him more influence looming indictment on corruption charges.

Clearly, the Prime Minister , the signature of Iran policy had already been shaken by Mr Trump's turn to diplomacy with the Islamic Republic . And it has been. shaken by The President 's reluctance to flex American military muscle in response to an apparent Iranian attack on Saudi oil facilities

The Israelis have long been more aggressive and open against Iranian proxies in the region, and resolutely curb the spread of Iranian missiles near their border. But the Saudi-attack rang new Alarm Bells .

If Iran could hit Saudi Arabia with cruise missiles, went the thinking, it could do the same to Israel.

And the Israelis would be left to face the threat without The American security control you thought you had?

"the shock of The death that The Iranians treated the Saudi oil-production installations by cruise missiles were fired from Iran, an attack that was not achieved, the shows in any way with a response from trump management, and the complete collapse of the security doctrine, which was promoted by Netanyahu, of all his decisions on "the friendliest President [in Israel] in the White house'," wrote Shimon Shiffer in Yedhioth Ahronoth.

The Alarm was reinforced by Mr Trump the decision of the U.S. troops from North-East to pull-to pave Syria the way for a Turkish military operation, apparently abandonment of America's long-time Kurdish allies.

Again, the has expressed concerns, to go as far as he is willing to protect other Nato countries: "trump has been unreliable for Israel," Mr Shiffer.

In fact, there is no suggestion that the United States would reduce, in any way, your rock-solid support for Israel's security.

But after almost three years in step with the trump administration, Israel could, with a view to the reality of an unpredictable and transactional President, has deep reservations about the use of the U.S. military, the fear has been involved in another conflict in the Middle East , and who, like Mr. Netanyahu, immersed in his own internal political battles for Survival .
